There is no scriptural basis for Mathias being an apostle. Only Yeshua can appoint an apostle. The apostolic age closed 1900 years ago.

1. Acts 1:15-26 is the inspired, Holy Spirit breathed basis for Mathias being an apostle. He put it in the Scriptures for our instruction and edification.
2. Yeshua can do that through the other Apostles, Simon Peter leading the holy catholic apostolic Church in this scriptural example.
3. The passing of the Twelve Apostles, and the last book of the Bible written by the beloved Apostle John, the destruction of the Temple, and the Diaspora all occurred at about this time. Yeshua promised us the gates of hell would not prevail against His holy catholic apostolic Church and that Yeshua would make Peter his steward with the keys of the kingdom of heaven. He trusted Peter. I believe Yeshua.

Yeshua invoked the assembly of his remnant, not a pagan human nicolaitan abomination like the RCC.

Satan gave us that mess, and it will not prevail against his remnant that keeps his feasts, and obeys his Torah.
